In the second book of the Essais towards the end of the twelfth chapter Montaigne mentions a nobleman who does not take note of his blindness. This case of not noticing his own blindness is presumably the first ever described. It belongs to the complex of anosognosia symptoms among which must be emphasized the Anton syndrome. The invalidity described by Montaigne means for him a crucial point of his critique of senses and thus of his doctrine of natural cognition.
在《随笔集》的第二卷第十二章结尾处，蒙田提到了一位贵族，他对自己的失明浑然不觉。这种对自身失明毫无察觉的情况大概是有史以来首次被描述。它属于失认症症状的范畴，其中必须强调的是安托万综合征。蒙田所描述的这种无行为能力对他而言，是其对感官批判以及自然认知学说批判的一个关键要点。
